Ell took us on an incredibly knowledgable journey through a historic telling of Portugal and Faro’s past 100+ years. As a new resident of Portugal, I found the tour so eye-opening, especially the years the country was ruled under the dictatorship. I highly recommend this tour if you are interested in history, architecture, politics or looking to know more about Portugal and Faro.

Brilliant tour with a brilliant storyteller. Ell was a passionate, very knowledgeable tour guide. On this tour, my partner and I learned how politics, socioeconomic development and culture intertwined and influenced the architecture and monuments during the 20th century in Faro. Ell also surfaced significant parallels to the political situation then and now. Definitely to recommend to those who want to see "beyond beautiful house facade".
